Aarunya Nature Resort was a wonderful experience. Nestled in the forested hills north of Kandy you really do feel a part of nature, within 5 minutes of checking into our room we were watching birds, lizards and monkeys in the surrounding trees from our balcony. We stayed 5 nights in the Sky Tented room with its private infinity pool that had the most amazing view across the valley and forests. The resort is lovely. It was smaller than I was expecting, but that gives it a personal and intermit feel. The staff couldn’t be more attentive and helpful. The dinning experiences were delightful and after informing the resort, when I booked, that both me and my husband had vegan dietary requirements the chef and staff met the challenge with enthusiasm and smiles and were able to serve us up delicious and interesting (veganised) local dishes for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It is very much appreciated as we know how this can be quite an effort. The elephant excursion we booked through the resort was incredible, with an informative guide and great driver. It was also simple to book a car and driver at the resort to take us down to Kandy Royal Botanic Gardens, which was a surprisingly delightful way to spend a morning without having to travel too far. We were also taken on a nature walk through the resort’s garden where we were shown spices, fruit and the local abundant bird life. Our only regret was that we didn’t book more days there as we passed up a few of the other interesting excursions on offer so as we could spend some more relaxing time enjoying the resort and it’s tranquility.
